This is bad - having to resort to my Jane's :ymblushing: x_x :-o :ymsigh:

Next day..... No ... you have me Stevieboy ... I'm all out of twin engine tricycles ...I've been trawling Jane's too ;) It has the look of functional German undercarriage and there is a Focke Wulf twin but it has radials - so its not that - Its not a Whirlwind, Hornet and its not a Lightning ... so I'm stuffed :((

Anyone else :p

Longshot - is it a derivative of the P38 - like the YP38 ??

If its not can you narrow it down by saying twin boom or just twin engine :-?
